several deal with prophecy and
eschatology, he has published one
volume, The Holy Spirit, on the
Founders Week theme.
Everett L. Cattell, president of
Malone College in Canton, Ohio,
has also written a book on the
Holy Spirit and will continue the
study of this subject at Thurs-day
and Friday 8:45 am. ses-sions.
He also will address Fri-day
morning all-campus worship.
President at Malone since 1960,
Mr. Cattell previously served his
Pointe Woods, Mich., and the
Rev. Eric Lindholm, retired Bap-tist
General Conference minis-ter,
are scheduled to speak that
morning.
Adding a feminine touch is Mrs.
Eleanor Searle Whitney, New York
socialite who found commitment
to Christ at the 1957 Billy Graham
Crusade in Manhattan. She now
travels widely to tell of her discov-eries
and has appeared at several
Presidential prayer breakfasts. She
also will sing at Founds Week, hav-ing
formerly been an opera sing-er.
Founders Week this year will
center on the theme "Fresh Winds
of The Holy Spirit." Noted speak-ers
will address delegates f r om
throughout the nation who have
assembled on campus. Seminars
will cover a variety of contempor-ary
issues of interest to both lay-men
and ministers.
According to Dr. Carl Lund-quist,
president of the college, the
hope of Founders Week this year
is to look at some of the innova-ting
ways the Holy Spirit is at
work in the world today, and how
Bethel and the Bethel community
can encourage and enrich these
currents.
President Lundquist pointed out
that Founders Week was a rather
unique occasion. He noted that it
provides the best opportunity of
the year for students and consti-tuency
to get together and meet
each other.
A new addition to the full slate
of seminars and sessions will be
made this year. In keeping with
the Seminary's theme, "The Man
of God Communicating the Word
of God," Dean Emeritus Edwin
Omark has established an annual
preaching awards competition.
The contest is open to any full-time
middler or senior student.
Each contestant will submit an ori-ginal
sermon to be judged by a fac-ulty
panel. Three finalists will de-liver
sermons during Founders
Week, with each one being limit-ed
to 20 minutes.

A second college official parti-cipating
in Founders Week is Dr.
John Wesley White, associate evan-gelist
with the Billy Graham As-sociation,
who has been Chancel-lor
of Richmond College, Toronto,
Ontario, Canada, since 1966. This
Canadian evangelist, formerly a
high school teacher, joined the
Graham Association in 1964. He
has studied at Moody Bible Insti-tute,
holds a B.A. degree from
Wheaton College (Ill.) and a D,
Phil. degree from Oxford Uni-versity.
He will speak Wednesday
evening and lead a 2 p.m. Bible
study meeting all week.
From a small broadcasting min-istry,
Dr. Theodore Epp's Back to
the Bible Broadcast, located in Lin-coln,
Nebraska, has grown since
1939 to become a worldwide effort
engaging in 25,000 weekly broad-casts,
and support of over 300 mis-sionaries
in broadcasting and other
evangelical efforts. Dr. Epp will
lead the emphasis on missions at
Friday evening's meeting.
From church, the local clergy-man's
situation, two pastors will
be contributing in special ways.
The Rev. W. Dale lhrie, highly-recommended
pastor of the
North American Baptist General
Conference church at Grosse
Cagers,, Grapplers
Sweep Northland
The Royals swept Northland in
basketball and wrestling last
Saturday as the Bethelites jour-neyed
into the northern confines
of Wisconsin. The hardcourt men
hung on to top the home team
88-85 in overtime. The grapplers
easily rolled to a 30-12 victory.
The weekend of February 16-17
constitutes this year's Sno-Daze,
Bethel's annual celebration of Min-nesota's
white weather. Various
activities have been planned a-round
its; theme, Icelandic Esca-pade.
The activities begin on Friday
afternoon with the judging of snow
sculptures. Each class will design
its own snow masterpiece, to be
completed by Fridd: noon, in com-petition
with the creations of the
other classes for a monetary prize.
That evening will be the annual
Sno-Daze banquet, a formal affair
to be held this year at the North-star
Inn in downtown Minneapolis.
"Icelandic Cordials" will be served
beginning at 7:00 p.m. with dinner
at 8:00.
Following dinner comes an even-ing
of entertainment including the
coronation of the Sno-Princess. At
the banquet the Princess and her
court will hold the yearly beard
judging. (Yes, girls; this contest
is the excuse of all the hairy males
on campus.)
Another highlight of the evening
will be the presence of King Boreas
Rex, (who is a character take-off
on the king of the St. Paul Winter
Carnival and is akin to the little
black people who have been in-vading
the coffee shop nightly).
Boreas will host the banquet and
preside over the festivities of the
evening.
Saturday night, Bodien cafeteria
will be preparing a special smor-gasbord
for the occasion, and will
open at 5:00.
Later Saturday night will be the
International Traying Contest in
Como Park—trayers, meet by the
ski hill near Arlington—to be judg-ed
by the newly crowned Princess.
Hot chocolate and samores will re-fresh
the participants at the con-clusion
of the Sno-Daze weekend.
Sno-Daze activities were planned
under the supervision of Becky
Bloom, committee chairman. Com-mittee
members were: Steve Smith,
Doris Bucklew, Mark Smih, Lin-da
C. Olson, Pris Anderson, Carol
Pedersen, Faith Frykman, Clay
Carlson, Tim Gibson, and John
Goodman.

the inadequacies of the Bethel aca-demic

Li ht of Eduation
Process Four-One-Four Academic Calendar
g Lends Itself Well To Bethel Situation
Need Not Threaten Faith
James Baldwin, in his bestseller NOBODY KNOWS MY
NAME, makes an interesting observation. "We do not trust edu-cated
people," he says, "and rarely, alas, produce them, for we
do not trust the independence of mind which alone makes a gen-uine
education possible."
This observation focuses on the heart of a massive problem.
Older generations sometimes view with distrust the spirit of
inquiry which should characterize an academic institution. The
questions and activities of many earnest students are often
dismissed as a vague sort of "rebellion" against established
modes of behavior and thought. This attitude tends to dis-courage
intellectual autonomy while, at the ,same time, fosters
a sharper cleavage between generations.
Although the "generation gap" is perhaps as apparent
between the older generation and the student as anywhere
else, the two positions are not as polarized as some would
like to think. This misconception only intensifies the prob-lem,
erecting defensive barriers that thwart efforts to bridge
the gap.
A basic question of honesty lies at the root of the matter.
While evangelicals stoutly maintain the veracity of their be-liefs,
there too often is a hesitancy to expose them to critical
examination. Evangelical youths, as toddlers, sang "This little
light of mine, I'm going to let it shine," and answered the
"hide it under a bushel?" question with a resounding "no!"
They read "so let your light shine before men" as teen-agers.
But sometime, somewhere, in those growing-up years
the thought that their Christianity was too feeble to withstand
the questions and doubts of an inquiring mind was also un-consciously
instilled in them.
Perhaps, if we are honest, we must admit that it is indeed
"our Christianity" that seems so feeble to us that we must
put it "under a bushel basket." Certainly the power of God
does pot need the feeble efforts of men to exist as a reality.
From the viewpoint of an effective witness, it is imper-ative
to encourage frank inquiry, and to face it squarely. Only
one whose personal faith is inadequate can fear dialogue
with those of differing persuasions.
Distrust of the "educated" person—one who has develop-ed
independence of mind—is ultimately distrust of one's own
convictions. It is difficult, in fact, impossible, to face in others
what one cannot face in oneself.
The average student comes to college with a set of values
which are basically external—they are imposed by his fam-ily
and church background and accepted with relatively
little questioning. But one must learn to think independently,
and values must become internal or lose their meaning. This
is the goal of education.
The educational process must not be distrusted. It is the
process that changes ore to steel. The deeper perception and
awareness of the world which stem from true education can
only make the Christian a more able servant of God.

`Other War' Goes Unattended In Viet Strife
Page 2 the CLARION Wednesday, February 14, 1968
ious seminars and meetings often
cannot because of the conflicts with
class schedules. Members of the
faculty are upset because even
more than usual students are not
keeping up with assignments.
Public relations also suffer as
relations between students and "the
founders" are not as cordial as
they might be. Students see "the
founders" as objects who make the
lunch line twice as long or who
crowd them out of the coffeeshop.
"The founders" see the students as
impatient and always in a hurry
when many times they would like
to get acquainted with more Beth-elites.
There are various ways in which
the academic calendar could be al-tered
to accomodate these prob-lems.
One of the best solutions
would be the "four-one-four" sys-tem
or some variation of it. This
system consists of two four-month
semesters and a one-month term
sandwiched between the two sem-esters.
During this term, courses could
be offered other than those already
in the curriculum. Readings or in-dependent
study courses could be
offered on a large scale. Choral
and drama groups could go on
tour. And, if Bethel is not too tra-dition
bound, Founders Week could
be held during this interim in
January rather than in February.
Not only would the "four-one,
four" system alleviate the t w o
main problems created by the
"lame duck" session and Founders
Week, but it would also enhance
the student's liberal arts exper-fence.
There is a greater need for
students to participate in inde-pendent
study courses, especially
if they plan on graduate work.
Furthermore, the interim period
could add a flexibility to the cur-riculum
which is not now availa-ble.
Different courses could be of-fered
each year depending upon
student interest. A "free univer-sity"
type atmosphere could pre-vail
during the interim term.
SAIGON (CPS)—The war in Viet-nam
is really two wars: one mili-tary
and the other socio-economic,
and the two must be fought toget-her,
administration officials ex-plain.
Burt in truth Vietnam remains
overwhelmingly a military opera-tion
with military brass calling the
shots. The excuse is often made
that the Other War cannot really
be waged until the military situa-tion
is under control.
The Other War means the battle
against the poverty, disease, and
illiteracy which plague Vietnam.
The more sophisticated, political
science-oriented advisors here um.
derstand the causes. of the Vietna-mese
civil war. They realize Viet-namese
society is divided between
rich city dwellers and rural pea.
sants. But their understanding has
not helped them win t∎ he war.
There are a number of funda-mental
reasons why the Other War
cannot be won, reasons which are
not considered by the men waging
it. All of the reasons are tied up
with the question of our motiva-tion.
In the Administration's eye,
helping the Vietnamese, winning
their "hearts and minds," is a
means, not an end. Dean Rusk, in
an unusual display of candor, has
admitted as much.
Sometimes it seems our real rea-son
for being in Vietnam is to deny
the Chinese a 'traditional sphere of
influence in Asia. Or perhaps we
seek a wider purpose—to send a
message to revolutionaries through-out
the world that we will zap
them with our counter-insurgency
techniques.
America's ideology precludes
winning the Other War. We sup-port
the very elements which pro-fit
from the poverty of the Viet-namese
peasants. Eisenhower and
Dulles defended U.S. intervention
in Vietnam in the fifties because
they felt the U.S. couldn't afford
to lose the valuable natural re-sources
in Vietnam to the commu-nists.
Only a small but powerful group
of Americans stood to profit from
U.S. involvement, the major share-holders
in the companies which
process the raw materials. The
American public was neither
harmed nor helped economically.
The Vietnamese civil war is an
example of class warfare. Our anti-communist
allies there are the rich
upper-class, French-trained e 1 e -
ment of Vietnamese society, unrep-resentative
of the whole. Their op-ponents,
always referred to as
"Communist's" in our press, al-though
few are ideologically moti-vated
and all are nationalists, rep-resent
the aspirations and needs of
the Vietnamese peasantry.
Naturally the strongest allied
support force comes from the Park
dictatorship i n South Korea, a
force which fights for the same
land-owning aristocracy that we
defend in South Vietnam. The same
can be said of the Thai contingent.
The Fillipinos come because of
Uncle's aid money; the Australians
are fervant anti-Communists.
The fundamental contradiction
of maiming people one day and
patching them up the next disturbs
many sincere, concerned Ameri-cans
working in Vietnam. These
few Americans like the Vietnamese
people, speak their language, wear
Vietnamese dress and work for
AID or for voluntary agencies like
the International Volunteer Ser-vice
(IVS). This group is deeply
disturbed about the war. It is frau-dulant
to drop bombs, create ref-ugees,
and expect gratitude when
you feed them.
The Pentagon would prefer im-proved
relations with the natives.
The Army handbook warns soldiers
not to abuse Vietnamese women,
talk loud, drive recklessly, or wave
their money around. It says, "Join
with the people. Understand their
life. Use phrases from their lan-

guage. Honor their customs and
laws." But the racism is too deep-ly
rooted. Soldiers do insult the
women, run the men off the road,
and turn children into beggars.
In a land of poverty (relative to
the U.S., not India), American af-fluence
causes resentment and rais-es
expectations beyond the point
at which they can be fulfilled. A-merican
aid personnel frequently
live quite grandly, sometimes in
former French villas. Almost any
Vietnam assignment is more lucra-tive
than a similar stateside job,
U.S. troops are not paid much by
American standards but by local
standards they have money to burn.
Soldiers, even in remote outposts,
frequently have Vietnamese cooks
and servants. While Vietnamese
civilians with near-fatal injuries
must be moved over the rough
roads, U.S. helicopters are involved
in keeping isolated U.S. installa-tions
stocked with American beer.
Our soldiers live well here.
Quarters are frequently aircondi-tioned.
Booze is plentiful. The
Armed Forces Vietnam Network
operates am, fm, and television
stations throughout the country.
Compared with the fairly austere
French, our activity must look
chrome-plated and much more per-manent.
American hegemony in Vietnam
is maintained through control of
the Vietnamese government. Our
relationship with the Thieu-Ky re-gime
is symbiotic. They couldn't
last without American troops here
cont'd on page 3
Such a system would naturally
not be without its own drawbacks
and pitfalls. It would demand more
work and maturity on the pant of
both students and faculty. How-ever,
the value of such a system
outweighs the drawbacks. It' would
not only alleviate some perennial
problems but would give a greater
meaning to Bethel's liberal arts
program while enhancing the stu-dent's
own learning experience.
Every year there are pleas from
various corners on campus to
change the academic calendar. Of-ten
they appear to fall on deaf
ears. However, as long as the
need for reform exists, these pleas
will not be silenced.

Israeli Reflections
Dear Bethel,
Greetings from "your man in
Jerusalem! !" I would like to try
to tell you all a little of what
has been happening to me in the
past few months. It is impossible
to put into words all the things
that I had the opportunity to ex-perience.
It has been a fantastic time! I
have had the opportunity to travel
all over Israel from the northern-most
tip in what was formerly Sy-ria
to the lonely desert fortress
at Sharm-El-Shek. I have slept
alongside the Suez Canal, swum.
in the Dead Sea, ridden a camel
and seen the tragic remains of the
recent Six-Day-War.
Israel is a living history book.
And yet, alongside the ruins and
remains of civilizations that rose
and fell milleniums ago, there is
a modern, technologically orient-ed
culture that incorporate some
of the best that man has to offer.
I worked on a modern kibbutz
that employed all the latest agri-cultural
advances available while
right across the road was a Bed-ouin
encampment that barely man-aged
a subsistence living. The peo-ple
who lived in their black tents
had no concept of the United States
and did not know they lived in the?
State of Israel.
Just a few miles south of Beer-sheba
in the Negev Desert, in the
same hills that conceal a modern
nuclear reactor, shepherds tend
their sheep and goats in the same
way that Abraham, Isaac and Ja-cob
tended their sheep and goats
thousands of years ago.
I stood in front of the Wailing
Wall which might retain remnants
of Solomon's Temple built hun-dreds
of years ago. At the same
moment, I looked up and saw and
heard the roar of an Israeli Mys-tere
jet, the fastest jet fighter in
the world, as it thundered over.
Israel is certainly an old-new coun-try
and it is exciting to experience
the contrast.
I certainly do miss Bethel
though. I miss the warm fellow-ship
with Christian students and
teachers. I find Hebrew a difficult
language to master. However, I
have an Israeli roommate who can-not
speak English so I am forced
to practice it.
I am taking twenty-seven hours
a week of Old Testament, Jewish
Applications for chairman of
Welcome Week Committee, Home-coming
Committee, and for the
Concert Series are now being ac-cepted.
Interested students should
make their way to the Senate of-fice
as soon as possible.

History and Philosophy at the He-brew
University in Jerusalem.
Most of my lectures and a lot of
my texts are in Hebrew so it is
going to be a real tough but, I
think, a rewarding year.
Although it is winter, it is still
relatively warm. Of course I re-turned
to Bethlehem for Christ-mas.
I find it very spiritually in-spiring
to be in the same places
where Christ was born, lived,
taught, died, and rose again. And
to see some of the same things
that Christ found commonplace
makes my faith even more con-crete
and meaningful to me.
I wish that you all could be here
with me. But since that is impos-sible,
I want to extend to you all
peace and the best of wishes.

"Shop Around"
Editor:
This is not a letter of attack, but
one of open questioning addressed
to all Bethel students. I have heard
many students raising questions
about real and rumored bookstore
policies, and I would simply like
to verbalize them.
Is it true that sundry items are
higher priced than in outside
stores? May I suggeSt some bar-gain
hunting.
Is it true that used book prices
are unusually high, that some are
even higher than the new price
printed on the book? (Some stu-dents
have actually complained of
this, though I find it hard to be-lieve.)
Is it true that used Gideon Bibles
have been sold in the bookstore?
Is the faculty discount a reality?
(Some rumors put it as high as
20% to 30%.) This means student
prices must make up the differ-ence,
which hardly seems the Chris-tian
treatment of low or no sal-aried
students to the benefit of
regularly paid instructors.
As we once again approach the
buying of new texts and restock-ing
supplies, let us show some
adult discretion and shop in the
manner that is most economical to
us.
There are a large number of
bookstores in the Twin Cities with
which we can at least compare
our own. Shop around, you may
save a buck.
Sincerely,
Norman Stolpe

14-16. Students of the de-partment
are exhibiting their work.
All items can be purchased at a
nominal price, according to Stu
Luckman, art instructor.
The sale includes work in cer-amics,
design, painting, photo-graphy,
sculpture, and drawing.
Anyone interested in purchasing
work should ask for assistance at
the ticket window. All sales are
cash only, and work sold will be
removed immediately from the ex-hibition
area.
Bethel Swearing?
Evangelical cursing . . . Confer-ence
oaths . . . Bethel swearing ...
call it what you like, the increas-ing
use of questionable language
on campus is becoming a problem.
Many of the phrases and words
circulated (and •emulated by both
males and females) are hardly wor-thy
of use. By inserting a new set
of words into our vocabulary, we
are, in essence, substituting for
swear words.
It is granted that the meaning
of some phrases is arbitrary and
peculiar to our definitions, yet this
doesn't make them right. Any non-
Christian or visitor to campus who
won't know our esoteric meaning
can take the feeling or meaning
of a phrase in a wrong way.
To these people or to the user
himself, what is the difference be-tween

any other government allow us to
stay.
Some history is helpful. In 1954
it was evident that if the provi-sions
of the Geneva Accords were
executed, the people of Vietnam
would elect a nationalist govern-ment
which, as an historical coin-cidence,
was also Communist. Ra-ther
than allow the Communists
to win an election, the United
States, in collusion with the
French, violated the Accords and
partitioned the country. Half was
to be non-Communist, Diem was
installed in the South, and elec-tions
were not held.
When Diem became too odious
even for the United States, his
palace guard was suddenly pres-sed
into service elsewhere by a
U.S. fiat and the regime fell tc 1

Van Thieu, another of the junta
generals, who is not as insidious
looking, became number one.
The election that "legitamized"
the current regime was criticized
for the wrong reasons. Cheating
was not the crucial element. The
critical element, making the elec-tion
meaningless, was the disquali-fication
of the only two candidates,
General Minh and Au Trang Thanh,
who represented an alternative and
who were well-enough known to
pose a threat to the incumbants.
It was an election without a choice
and the Constituent Assembly al-most
had the courage to invalidate
it.
The "freedom's champions" in
Vietnam are the men who were
aligned with the French colonial-ists

manner? Intent of the speaker may
not necessarily be wrong or in
poor taste but the effect is dif-ferent.
We are told to avoid all appear-ances
of evil, but substitution is
not indicative of avoidance. Rather,
it seems to be rapidly approaching
the evil. Some words used in in-nocence
of thought are in the user's
ignorance connotative or specifi-cally
denotative of a foul mean-ing
to someone better versed in
this area.
Is There really any difference
between using Bethel swear words
and coming right out and using
the filthy language of the world?
Are we any less guilty in God's
sight simply because we substitute
words to fit our own need's? Using
this type of language does not
make for the worthwhile or ef-fective
witness we might hope to
have.

Minh. They still live like the
French in their villas.. They take
trips to Europe and their wives
pick up the latest fashions in
Paris. Their sons go to Europe for
schooling, thereby avoiding the
Vietnamese draft.
Among knowledgeable Ameri-cans
it is recognized that the Sai-gon
government's anti-corruption
campaign is a farce, something like
putting a wolf in charge of sheep.
The corruption flows from the top
down. It is impossible to assess
the extent of corruption without
an active press, but the Vietnamese
press is impotent.
The newspaper 'Song' was closed
down a few weeks ago because of
its too incessant complaining about
corruption. This was not in the
national interest, the government
said. A columnist for the English-language
Saigon Daily News, writ-ing
under the name Van Minh,
claimed "three 'recalcitrant' jour-nalists
have been picked up in the
last couple of months and drafted
into the Army."
The freedom of the press is not
the only abused institution in
Vietnam. The system of justice al-so
suffers. People disappear daily
without a trace. Over 5,000 politi-cal
prisoners languish in the jails.
Political expression is the most
dangerous offense. Last week the
government busted a 100-peasant-
Is Bethel ... ?
Where is the Bethel I used to
know?
Where have the noted profes-sors
gone—the Walfred Petersons,
the Robert Mounces, the Loren
Crabtrees, the Dr. Butlers, the Jim
Jordans, and the David Mobergs-and
why have they gone?
Why is it that Bethel has so
many part-time instructors? Is this
academic excellence? Why is it
that Bethel does not have a per-manent
dean? Doesn't the dean
have a major role in the college
community?
Why is there so much unrest
on the college campus? Why is it
that Bethel is not getting enough
financial funds? When will Bethel
be out on the new campus? Where
is Bethel going? Is it going for-wards
or backwards?
These are many questions which
are on the minds of the students.
But where are their answers?

strong "anti-U.S. whispering cam-paign."
The peasants were held
for over 12 hours for saying unkind
things about America. Any activity
that weakens the "national anti-
Communist struggle" and "all plots
under the false name of peace and
neutrality" are outlawed. Prosecu-tion
under the law is left to mili-tary
courts.
The repressive nature, of the re-gime
has polarized Vietnamese po-litics.
Whereas there was once non-violent
and diverse opposition to
the government, now there is the
simple choice, the government or
the NLF. Those who care about
their country either join the Front
or wait until it takes over, believ-ing
there will be more freedom
then. The repression has been a
boon to the NLF.
One of the most notable charac-teristics
of a revolutionary period
is the inefficiency of the central
government. The bureaucratic leg-acy
of the French is amazing to
watch. Row after row of tired
bureaucrats, staring out the win-dows,
reading comic books, or
shuffling papers back and forth,
perhaps initialling each copy; no
one in a hurry to do anything in
the midst of a society faced with
massive dislocation, the glaring in-eptitude,
the lack of concern—all
this makes the revolution so under-standable.

Highlighting Sno-Daze "68" is
the coronation of the Sno Princess
Friday night, February 16, at the
banquet held at the North Star Inn.
Candidates for princess are chosen
by the freshman and sophomore
classes. This year's candidates are
Sue Kennerud, a freshman, Wibby
Smith, a sophomore, and Jackie
Goodman, also a sophomore.
All three candidates think Sno-
Daze is one of the most exciting
events of the year. They like the
idea of a formal affair. Their re-actions
to being chosen as a can-didate
for Sno Princess were
summarized by Sue's comment,
"I just can't believe it."
Sue's major interest lies in the
field of music. With organ as a
major, her chief interest is in
church music. She enjoys being a
member of a gospel team and
hopes to go into some kind of
Christian service after graduation.
Psychology or Christianity is
a probable major for Jackie. Not
concerned with preparing for
any specific vocation, Jackie
feels that college is a place
where she can develop her mind
and grasp a better understand-ing
of people.
As a leader in Campus Life at
Mounds View High School, she
works with students in helping
them to develop their Christian
lives. This she feels will benefit
her as a prospective summer mis-sionary.
Wibby's trip to the Orient this
past year was a real inspiration
to her. Having lived in Hong
Kong for five months and attend-ing
a Japanese college, she wit-nessed
a culture and a way of
life far different from her own.
Living among these people, she
could feel their life and sympa-thize
with them.
She was disheartened by the vile-ness
of various rituals practiced
by some cults. Frustration from
the sight of people plagued in fear
and paganism was intensified by
language barriers which prevented
her from communicating to them
the love of Christ. Impressed with
the need for missionaries and tea-chers
abroad, Wibby, as an elemen-tary
education major, would some
day like to return to the Orient
as a Christian teacher.

Three Straight
by Dave Greener
In recent action, the Bethel Col-lege
wrestling team came back
from two losses to win three meets
in a row. Victories were gained
over St. Paul Bible College, Ham-line,
and Northland while the los-ses
were to the University of Min-nesota
(Morris) and Concordia (St.
Paul). Before the '67-'68 season
closes, Bethel wrestlers will have
an opportunity to face some of
these teams again.
Bethel lost to Morris by a score
of 28-11 on January 13. However,
Coach Doug King feels confident
that his men can triumph this Sat-urday
when they encounter Morris
for the second time. He is not mak-ing
a hollow prediction . .. Dale
Pearson will be present (he had to
forfeit last time) and Curt Dokken
and Barry Anderson are expected
to improve their previous perfor-mance,
while it is hoped that Bob
Olson can come through with a
pin.
Concordia defeated Bethel by a
narrow margin on January 16. The
final score was 19-16. This meet
was particularly disappointing for
the Royals in that they had pre-viously
defeated Concordia. This
time, however, Bethel suffered
from a shortage of manpower and
consequently lost points by for-feit.
The Royals once again became
victorious on January 20 when they
defeated St. Paul Bible College, 31-
8. There is no question that SPBC
can be defeated again on February
23 when Bethel hosts them in the
Field House.
Bethel earned a victory against
Hamline on January 23. The Pipers
were defeated by a score of 23-16.
Bethel's third victory in a row
came at the expense of Northland
on January 27 as the Royals won
26-13. Northland, like St. Paul
Bible College, has a new team
which is relatively inexperienced.
However, they are potentially dan-gerous
to Bethel . . . especially
since Bethel is beset by forfeiture
problems. Nevertheless, Bethel was
anticipated to offer them strong
competition on their return en-gagement
last Saturday.
regulation time, but dropped an
88-85 decision in overtime. Bill
Malyon led Bethel's attack with 19
counters. Ron Pederson had 15 and
Dan Larson 14.
The following night, the cag-ers
dropped a 76-72 decision to
Morris. The visitors' outstanding
forward, Doug Maclver, did most
of the damage as he scored 24
points and did a fine job on the
boards. Pederson led the Royals,
canning 22.
After the Morris setback, Bethel
won its next two contests. They
topped Concordia of St. Paul by an
86-63 count with Pederson again
leading the way, bagging 23 points.
Dan Larson chipped in with 16,
Lowell Richard had 14, and John
Lundgren contributed 10.
Over semester break, the Royals
soared over the century mark as
they humbled Northland 106-95.
Five cagers finished in double fig-ures.
Pederson paced the squad
with 26, and Weko added 19. Rich-ardson,
Larson, and Robertson fol-lowed
with 16, 13, and 11 respec-tively.
The losers got a 30 point
output from Richard Long, and
Gordy Lake added 23.
The Royals split their two
other games during vacation.
Briar Cliff shot better than 50%
from the field to record a 105-82
victory February 1, as three of
their men chalked up 66 points
between them.
The Bethel cagers had better suc-cess

The Bethel Women's basketball
team battled four teams last sem-pster
and were victorious in three
of those contests. After dropping
their initial game to Pillsbury 44-
30, they went on to defeat their
next three opponents, St. Cloud,
Fairview, and River Falls.
Against St. Cloud, Bethel was
in command during the entire
game. The first quarter found
Bethel leading 13-6, and at half
time they still held a six-point
edge.
The only threat St. Cloud posed
came in the third quarter as they
momentarily stopped Bethel's of-fense
by effectively using a man
to man defense. However, Bethel
quickly recovered and outscored
St. Cloud 16-5 in the fourth quar-ter.
The final tally found Bethel
with a comfortable win, 42-27.
Top scorers in the game were
Barb Lindman with 16 and Marilyn
Edgar with 12. Karla Ask and Faith
Zwemke contributed 4 and 6 points
respectively while Bev DeGeed put
in 3 free throws and Sheryl Hog-man
sank 1.
Expecting a tough game, Bethel
was pleasantly surprised when they
met Fairview and routed them 62-
31. Because the game was not' a
close one, all of the team members
were able to play and gain valu-able
experience.
Fairview lost sight of Bethel
early in the game, and at the half
Bethel led 30-4. Bethel's only prob-lem
arose at the free-throw line
where they sank only 6 of 20 while
Fairview scored 13 of 18.
Barb Lindman copped undisput-ed
scoring honors as she bucketed
35 points, the most she has ever
totaled in a single game. Marilyn
Edgar was the only other Bethel
girl to score in double figures as
she had 10 points.
In their first home game, Bethel
met River Falls in an extremely
tense game. Bethel led narrowly
throughout most of the game and
held a slim two-point edge at the
half. By the end of the third period
Bethel had increased their lead to
five as the score stood 22-17.
Both teams appeared to have

The basketball team is regrouping itself after Monday
night's loss to Augsburg, in preparation for the home stretch
drive. The season so far has been dotted with periods of bril-liance,
but at other times, the needed spark has been missing.
We have ,a young team, including six freshmen and several
sophomores, so a promising future should be in store for us.
In fact, I'm looking for a late season spurt from this year's
squad. The ability is there; a new and more determined desire
is needed! * * * *
The wrestling squad is also young, but despite its youth,
has done a remarkably good job. Under the influence of an
excellent wrestler in his own right, coach Doug King, Bethel's
wrestling future looks gre*at. * * *
Unfortunately, Hockey has become almost extinct at our
college because of lack of finances. One game was played
about two months ago, and ended in a 5-5 tie. Hockey is a very
exciting game, and Bethel has several fine Canadian players
at its disposal. It would really be great if the administration
could give the guys a fina*nci*al l*ift .*
The Women's basketball team is enjoying a good amount
of success so far this season. After last Thursday's 34-22 loss
at the hands of Augsburg, their overall record is 4 and 2.
Barb Lindamen and Marilyn Edgar are ,again the leading
scorers on coach Carol M*org*an '*s s q*u ad.
Would you believe that a group of Bethel guys have or-ganized
a cheering squad for the girl's basketball games?
However, with their knobby knees and "combat" boots, they
certainly have a long way to go before they can come near
our regular female cheerleaders. We ,really appreciate the
great job that the girls have been doing. Thanks to Valerie,
Sheryl, and the three Ca*rols*. Y *o u*'re great!
Despite the zero temperatures which now pervade the
Twin City's area, our spring athletes are longing for the be-ginning
of their respective sports. Trackmen are beginning to
run, baseball practice will soon be starting, and as a golfer,
I've already begun to sharpen up my putting stroke. Yes,
athletics has its own definition of "spring fever."

'Fresh Winds of The Holy Spirit'
several deal with prophecy and
eschatology, he has published one
volume, The Holy Spirit, on the
Founders Week theme.
Everett L. Cattell, president of
Malone College in Canton, Ohio,
has also written a book on the
Holy Spirit and will continue the
study of this subject at Thurs-day
and Friday 8:45 am. ses-sions.
He also will address Fri-day
morning all-campus worship.
President at Malone since 1960,
Mr. Cattell previously served his
Pointe Woods, Mich., and the
Rev. Eric Lindholm, retired Bap-tist
General Conference minis-ter,
are scheduled to speak that
morning.
Adding a feminine touch is Mrs.
Eleanor Searle Whitney, New York
socialite who found commitment
to Christ at the 1957 Billy Graham
Crusade in Manhattan. She now
travels widely to tell of her discov-eries
and has appeared at several
Presidential prayer breakfasts. She
also will sing at Founds Week, hav-ing
formerly been an opera sing-er.
Founders Week this year will
center on the theme "Fresh Winds
of The Holy Spirit." Noted speak-ers
will address delegates f r om
throughout the nation who have
assembled on campus. Seminars
will cover a variety of contempor-ary
issues of interest to both lay-men
and ministers.
According to Dr. Carl Lund-quist,
president of the college, the
hope of Founders Week this year
is to look at some of the innova-ting
ways the Holy Spirit is at
work in the world today, and how
Bethel and the Bethel community
can encourage and enrich these
currents.
President Lundquist pointed out
that Founders Week was a rather
unique occasion. He noted that it
provides the best opportunity of
the year for students and consti-tuency
to get together and meet
each other.
A new addition to the full slate
of seminars and sessions will be
made this year. In keeping with
the Seminary's theme, "The Man
of God Communicating the Word
of God," Dean Emeritus Edwin
Omark has established an annual
preaching awards competition.
The contest is open to any full-time
middler or senior student.
Each contestant will submit an ori-ginal
sermon to be judged by a fac-ulty
panel. Three finalists will de-liver
sermons during Founders
Week, with each one being limit-ed
to 20 minutes.

with the Billy Graham As-sociation,
who has been Chancel-lor
of Richmond College, Toronto,
Ontario, Canada, since 1966. This
Canadian evangelist, formerly a
high school teacher, joined the
Graham Association in 1964. He
has studied at Moody Bible Insti-tute,

He will speak Wednesday
evening and lead a 2 p.m. Bible
study meeting all week.
From a small broadcasting min-istry,
Dr. Theodore Epp's Back to
the Bible Broadcast, located in Lin-coln,
Nebraska, has grown since
1939 to become a worldwide effort
engaging in 25,000 weekly broad-casts,
and support of over 300 mis-sionaries
in broadcasting and other
evangelical efforts. Dr. Epp will
lead the emphasis on missions at
Friday evening's meeting.
From church, the local clergy-man's
situation, two pastors will
be contributing in special ways.

The Royals swept Northland in
basketball and wrestling last
Saturday as the Bethelites jour-neyed
into the northern confines
of Wisconsin. The hardcourt men
hung on to top the home team
88-85 in overtime. The grapplers
easily rolled to a 30-12 victory.
The weekend of February 16-17
constitutes this year's Sno-Daze,
Bethel's annual celebration of Min-nesota's
white weather. Various
activities have been planned a-round
its; theme, Icelandic Esca-pade.
The activities begin on Friday
afternoon with the judging of snow
sculptures. Each class will design
its own snow masterpiece, to be
completed by Fridd: noon, in com-petition
with the creations of the
other classes for a monetary prize.
That evening will be the annual
Sno-Daze banquet, a formal affair
to be held this year at the North-star
Inn in downtown Minneapolis.
"Icelandic Cordials" will be served
beginning at 7:00 p.m. with dinner
at 8:00.
Following dinner comes an even-ing
of entertainment including the
coronation of the Sno-Princess. At
the banquet the Princess and her
court will hold the yearly beard
judging. (Yes, girls; this contest
is the excuse of all the hairy males
on campus.)
Another highlight of the evening
will be the presence of King Boreas
Rex, (who is a character take-off
on the king of the St. Paul Winter
Carnival and is akin to the little
black people who have been in-vading
the coffee shop nightly).
Boreas will host the banquet and
preside over the festivities of the
evening.
Saturday night, Bodien cafeteria
will be preparing a special smor-gasbord
for the occasion, and will
open at 5:00.
Later Saturday night will be the
International Traying Contest in
Como Park—trayers, meet by the
ski hill near Arlington—to be judg-ed
by the newly crowned Princess.
Hot chocolate and samores will re-fresh
the participants at the con-clusion
of the Sno-Daze weekend.
Sno-Daze activities were planned
under the supervision of Becky
Bloom, committee chairman. Com-mittee
members were: Steve Smith,
Doris Bucklew, Mark Smih, Lin-da
C. Olson, Pris Anderson, Carol
Pedersen, Faith Frykman, Clay
Carlson, Tim Gibson, and John

Li ht of Eduation
Process Four-One-Four Academic Calendar
g Lends Itself Well To Bethel Situation
Need Not Threaten Faith
James Baldwin, in his bestseller NOBODY KNOWS MY
NAME, makes an interesting observation. "We do not trust edu-cated
people," he says, "and rarely, alas, produce them, for we
do not trust the independence of mind which alone makes a gen-uine
education possible."
This observation focuses on the heart of a massive problem.
Older generations sometimes view with distrust the spirit of
inquiry which should characterize an academic institution. The
questions and activities of many earnest students are often
dismissed as a vague sort of "rebellion" against established
modes of behavior and thought. This attitude tends to dis-courage
intellectual autonomy while, at the ,same time, fosters
a sharper cleavage between generations.
Although the "generation gap" is perhaps as apparent
between the older generation and the student as anywhere
else, the two positions are not as polarized as some would
like to think. This misconception only intensifies the prob-lem,
erecting defensive barriers that thwart efforts to bridge
the gap.
A basic question of honesty lies at the root of the matter.
While evangelicals stoutly maintain the veracity of their be-liefs,
there too often is a hesitancy to expose them to critical
examination. Evangelical youths, as toddlers, sang "This little
light of mine, I'm going to let it shine," and answered the
"hide it under a bushel?" question with a resounding "no!"
They read "so let your light shine before men" as teen-agers.
But sometime, somewhere, in those growing-up years
the thought that their Christianity was too feeble to withstand
the questions and doubts of an inquiring mind was also un-consciously
instilled in them.
Perhaps, if we are honest, we must admit that it is indeed
"our Christianity" that seems so feeble to us that we must
put it "under a bushel basket." Certainly the power of God
does pot need the feeble efforts of men to exist as a reality.
From the viewpoint of an effective witness, it is imper-ative
to encourage frank inquiry, and to face it squarely. Only
one whose personal faith is inadequate can fear dialogue
with those of differing persuasions.
Distrust of the "educated" person—one who has develop-ed
independence of mind—is ultimately distrust of one's own
convictions. It is difficult, in fact, impossible, to face in others
what one cannot face in oneself.
The average student comes to college with a set of values
which are basically external—they are imposed by his fam-ily
and church background and accepted with relatively
little questioning. But one must learn to think independently,
and values must become internal or lose their meaning. This
is the goal of education.
The educational process must not be distrusted. It is the
process that changes ore to steel. The deeper perception and
awareness of the world which stem from true education can
only make the Christian a more able servant of God.

`Other War' Goes Unattended In Viet Strife

ious seminars and meetings often
cannot because of the conflicts with
class schedules. Members of the
faculty are upset because even
more than usual students are not
keeping up with assignments.
Public relations also suffer as
relations between students and "the
founders" are not as cordial as
they might be. Students see "the
founders" as objects who make the
lunch line twice as long or who
crowd them out of the coffeeshop.
"The founders" see the students as
impatient and always in a hurry
when many times they would like
to get acquainted with more Beth-elites.
There are various ways in which
the academic calendar could be al-tered
to accomodate these prob-lems.
One of the best solutions
would be the "four-one-four" sys-tem
or some variation of it. This
system consists of two four-month
semesters and a one-month term
sandwiched between the two sem-esters.
During this term, courses could
be offered other than those already
in the curriculum. Readings or in-dependent
study courses could be
offered on a large scale. Choral
and drama groups could go on
tour. And, if Bethel is not too tra-dition
bound, Founders Week could
be held during this interim in
January rather than in February.
Not only would the "four-one,
four" system alleviate the t w o
main problems created by the
"lame duck" session and Founders
Week, but it would also enhance
the student's liberal arts exper-fence.
There is a greater need for
students to participate in inde-pendent
study courses, especially
if they plan on graduate work.
Furthermore, the interim period
could add a flexibility to the cur-riculum
which is not now availa-ble.
Different courses could be of-fered
each year depending upon
student interest. A "free univer-sity"
type atmosphere could pre-vail
during the interim term.
SAIGON (CPS)—The war in Viet-nam
is really two wars: one mili-tary
and the other socio-economic,
and the two must be fought toget-her,
administration officials ex-plain.
Burt in truth Vietnam remains
overwhelmingly a military opera-tion
with military brass calling the
shots. The excuse is often made
that the Other War cannot really
be waged until the military situa-tion
is under control.
The Other War means the battle
against the poverty, disease, and
illiteracy which plague Vietnam.
The more sophisticated, political
science-oriented advisors here um.
derstand the causes. of the Vietna-mese
civil war. They realize Viet-namese
society is divided between
rich city dwellers and rural pea.
sants. But their understanding has
not helped them win t∎ he war.
There are a number of funda-mental
reasons why the Other War
cannot be won, reasons which are
not considered by the men waging
it. All of the reasons are tied up
with the question of our motiva-tion.
In the Administration's eye,
helping the Vietnamese, winning
their "hearts and minds," is a
means, not an end. Dean Rusk, in
an unusual display of candor, has
admitted as much.
Sometimes it seems our real rea-son
for being in Vietnam is to deny
the Chinese a 'traditional sphere of
influence in Asia. Or perhaps we
seek a wider purpose—to send a
message to revolutionaries through-out
the world that we will zap
them with our counter-insurgency
techniques.
America's ideology precludes
winning the Other War. We sup-port
the very elements which pro-fit
from the poverty of the Viet-namese
peasants. Eisenhower and
Dulles defended U.S. intervention
in Vietnam in the fifties because
they felt the U.S. couldn't afford
to lose the valuable natural re-sources
in Vietnam to the commu-nists.
Only a small but powerful group
of Americans stood to profit from
U.S. involvement, the major share-holders
in the companies which
process the raw materials. The
American public was neither
harmed nor helped economically.
The Vietnamese civil war is an
example of class warfare. Our anti-communist
allies there are the rich
upper-class, French-trained e 1 e -
ment of Vietnamese society, unrep-resentative
of the whole. Their op-ponents,
always referred to as
"Communist's" in our press, al-though
few are ideologically moti-vated
and all are nationalists, rep-resent
the aspirations and needs of
the Vietnamese peasantry.
Naturally the strongest allied
support force comes from the Park
dictatorship i n South Korea, a
force which fights for the same
land-owning aristocracy that we
defend in South Vietnam. The same
can be said of the Thai contingent.
The Fillipinos come because of
Uncle's aid money; the Australians
are fervant anti-Communists.
The fundamental contradiction
of maiming people one day and
patching them up the next disturbs
many sincere, concerned Ameri-cans
working in Vietnam. These
few Americans like the Vietnamese
people, speak their language, wear
Vietnamese dress and work for
AID or for voluntary agencies like
the International Volunteer Ser-vice
(IVS). This group is deeply
disturbed about the war. It is frau-dulant
to drop bombs, create ref-ugees,
and expect gratitude when
you feed them.
The Pentagon would prefer im-proved
relations with the natives.
The Army handbook warns soldiers
not to abuse Vietnamese women,
talk loud, drive recklessly, or wave
their money around. It says, "Join
with the people. Understand their
life. Use phrases from their lan-

guage. Honor their customs and
laws." But the racism is too deep-ly
rooted. Soldiers do insult the
women, run the men off the road,
and turn children into beggars.
In a land of poverty (relative to
the U.S., not India), American af-fluence
causes resentment and rais-es
expectations beyond the point
at which they can be fulfilled. A-merican
aid personnel frequently
live quite grandly, sometimes in
former French villas. Almost any
Vietnam assignment is more lucra-tive
than a similar stateside job,
U.S. troops are not paid much by
American standards but by local
standards they have money to burn.
Soldiers, even in remote outposts,
frequently have Vietnamese cooks
and servants. While Vietnamese
civilians with near-fatal injuries
must be moved over the rough
roads, U.S. helicopters are involved
in keeping isolated U.S. installa-tions
stocked with American beer.
Our soldiers live well here.
Quarters are frequently aircondi-tioned.
Booze is plentiful. The
Armed Forces Vietnam Network
operates am, fm, and television
stations throughout the country.
Compared with the fairly austere
French, our activity must look
chrome-plated and much more per-manent.
American hegemony in Vietnam
is maintained through control of
the Vietnamese government. Our
relationship with the Thieu-Ky re-gime
is symbiotic. They couldn't
last without American troops here
cont'd on page 3
Such a system would naturally
not be without its own drawbacks
and pitfalls. It would demand more
work and maturity on the pant of
both students and faculty. How-ever,
the value of such a system
outweighs the drawbacks. It' would
not only alleviate some perennial
problems but would give a greater
meaning to Bethel's liberal arts
program while enhancing the stu-dent's
own learning experience.
Every year there are pleas from
various corners on campus to
change the academic calendar. Of-ten
they appear to fall on deaf
ears. However, as long as the
need for reform exists, these pleas
will not be silenced.

Israeli Reflections
Dear Bethel,
Greetings from "your man in
Jerusalem! !" I would like to try
to tell you all a little of what
has been happening to me in the
past few months. It is impossible
to put into words all the things
that I had the opportunity to ex-perience.
It has been a fantastic time! I
have had the opportunity to travel
all over Israel from the northern-most
tip in what was formerly Sy-ria
to the lonely desert fortress
at Sharm-El-Shek. I have slept
alongside the Suez Canal, swum.
in the Dead Sea, ridden a camel
and seen the tragic remains of the
recent Six-Day-War.
Israel is a living history book.
And yet, alongside the ruins and
remains of civilizations that rose
and fell milleniums ago, there is
a modern, technologically orient-ed
culture that incorporate some
of the best that man has to offer.
I worked on a modern kibbutz
that employed all the latest agri-cultural
advances available while
right across the road was a Bed-ouin
encampment that barely man-aged
a subsistence living. The peo-ple
who lived in their black tents
had no concept of the United States
and did not know they lived in the?
State of Israel.
Just a few miles south of Beer-sheba
in the Negev Desert, in the
same hills that conceal a modern
nuclear reactor, shepherds tend
their sheep and goats in the same
way that Abraham, Isaac and Ja-cob
tended their sheep and goats
thousands of years ago.
I stood in front of the Wailing
Wall which might retain remnants
of Solomon's Temple built hun-dreds
of years ago. At the same
moment, I looked up and saw and
heard the roar of an Israeli Mys-tere
jet, the fastest jet fighter in
the world, as it thundered over.
Israel is certainly an old-new coun-try
and it is exciting to experience
the contrast.
I certainly do miss Bethel
though. I miss the warm fellow-ship
with Christian students and
teachers. I find Hebrew a difficult
language to master. However, I
have an Israeli roommate who can-not
speak English so I am forced
to practice it.
I am taking twenty-seven hours
a week of Old Testament, Jewish
Applications for chairman of
Welcome Week Committee, Home-coming
Committee, and for the
Concert Series are now being ac-cepted.
Interested students should
make their way to the Senate of-fice
as soon as possible.

Most of my lectures and a lot of
my texts are in Hebrew so it is
going to be a real tough but, I
think, a rewarding year.
Although it is winter, it is still
relatively warm. Of course I re-turned
to Bethlehem for Christ-mas.
I find it very spiritually in-spiring
to be in the same places
where Christ was born, lived,
taught, died, and rose again. And
to see some of the same things
that Christ found commonplace
makes my faith even more con-crete
and meaningful to me.
I wish that you all could be here
with me. But since that is impos-sible,
I want to extend to you all
peace and the best of wishes.

Editor:
This is not a letter of attack, but

to all Bethel students. I have heard
many students raising questions
about real and rumored bookstore
policies, and I would simply like
to verbalize them.
Is it true that sundry items are
higher priced than in outside
stores? May I suggeSt some bar-gain
hunting.
Is it true that used book prices
are unusually high, that some are
even higher than the new price
printed on the book? (Some stu-dents
have actually complained of
this, though I find it hard to be-lieve.)
Is it true that used Gideon Bibles
have been sold in the bookstore?
Is the faculty discount a reality?
(Some rumors put it as high as
20% to 30%.) This means student
prices must make up the differ-ence,
which hardly seems the Chris-tian
treatment of low or no sal-aried
students to the benefit of
regularly paid instructors.
As we once again approach the
buying of new texts and restock-ing
supplies, let us show some
adult discretion and shop in the
manner that is most economical to
us.
There are a large number of
bookstores in the Twin Cities with
which we can at least compare
our own. Shop around, you may
save a buck.
Sincerely,
Norman Stolpe

design, painting, photo-graphy,
sculpture, and drawing.
Anyone interested in purchasing
work should ask for assistance at
the ticket window. All sales are
cash only, and work sold will be
removed immediately from the ex-hibition

Bethel Swearing?
Evangelical cursing . . . Confer-ence
oaths . . . Bethel swearing ...
call it what you like, the increas-ing
use of questionable language
on campus is becoming a problem.
Many of the phrases and words
circulated (and •emulated by both
males and females) are hardly wor-thy
of use. By inserting a new set
of words into our vocabulary, we
are, in essence, substituting for
swear words.
It is granted that the meaning
of some phrases is arbitrary and
peculiar to our definitions, yet this
doesn't make them right. Any non-
Christian or visitor to campus who
won't know our esoteric meaning
can take the feeling or meaning
of a phrase in a wrong way.
To these people or to the user
himself, what is the difference be-tween
"Judas Priest" and using
the name of God's son in the same
from page 2
giving them legitimacy, nor would
any other government allow us to
stay.
Some history is helpful. In 1954
it was evident that if the provi-sions
of the Geneva Accords were
executed, the people of Vietnam
would elect a nationalist govern-ment
which, as an historical coin-cidence,
was also Communist. Ra-ther
than allow the Communists
to win an election, the United
States, in collusion with the
French, violated the Accords and
partitioned the country. Half was
to be non-Communist, Diem was
installed in the South, and elec-tions
were not held.
When Diem became too odious
even for the United States, his
palace guard was suddenly pres-sed
into service elsewhere by a
U.S. fiat and the regime fell tc 1
General "Big" Minh, who was pop-ular
with the Buddhists.
The government changed hands
several times before we discovered
Nguyen Cao Ky. Only he proved
ruthless enough to keep a restless
people quiet. But recently he be-came
a liability. So, he was put
in the co-pilot's seat and Kyugen
Van Thieu, another of the junta
generals, who is not as insidious
looking, became number one.
The election that "legitamized"
the current regime was criticized
for the wrong reasons. Cheating
was not the crucial element. The
critical element, making the elec-tion
meaningless, was the disquali-fication
of the only two candidates,
General Minh and Au Trang Thanh,
who represented an alternative and
who were well-enough known to
pose a threat to the incumbants.
It was an election without a choice
and the Constituent Assembly al-most
had the courage to invalidate
it.
The "freedom's champions" in
Vietnam are the men who were
aligned with the French colonial-ists
against the nationalist Viet
manner? Intent of the speaker may
not necessarily be wrong or in
poor taste but the effect is dif-ferent.
We are told to avoid all appear-ances
of evil, but substitution is
not indicative of avoidance. Rather,
it seems to be rapidly approaching
the evil. Some words used in in-nocence
of thought are in the user's
ignorance connotative or specifi-cally
denotative of a foul mean-ing
to someone better versed in
this area.
Is There really any difference
between using Bethel swear words
and coming right out and using
the filthy language of the world?
Are we any less guilty in God's
sight simply because we substitute
words to fit our own need's? Using
this type of language does not
make for the worthwhile or ef-fective
witness we might hope to
have.

Minh. They still live like the
French in their villas.. They take
trips to Europe and their wives
pick up the latest fashions in
Paris. Their sons go to Europe for
schooling, thereby avoiding the
Vietnamese draft.
Among knowledgeable Ameri-cans
it is recognized that the Sai-gon
government's anti-corruption
campaign is a farce, something like
putting a wolf in charge of sheep.
The corruption flows from the top
down. It is impossible to assess
the extent of corruption without
an active press, but the Vietnamese
press is impotent.
The newspaper 'Song' was closed
down a few weeks ago because of
its too incessant complaining about
corruption. This was not in the
national interest, the government
said. A columnist for the English-language
Saigon Daily News, writ-ing
under the name Van Minh,
claimed "three 'recalcitrant' jour-nalists
have been picked up in the
last couple of months and drafted
into the Army."
The freedom of the press is not
the only abused institution in
Vietnam. The system of justice al-so
suffers. People disappear daily
without a trace. Over 5,000 politi-cal
prisoners languish in the jails.
Political expression is the most
dangerous offense. Last week the
government busted a 100-peasant-
Is Bethel ... ?
Where is the Bethel I used to
know?
Where have the noted profes-sors
gone—the Walfred Petersons,
the Robert Mounces, the Loren
Crabtrees, the Dr. Butlers, the Jim
Jordans, and the David Mobergs-and
why have they gone?
Why is it that Bethel has so
many part-time instructors? Is this
academic excellence? Why is it
that Bethel does not have a per-manent
dean? Doesn't the dean
have a major role in the college
community?
Why is there so much unrest
on the college campus? Why is it
that Bethel is not getting enough
financial funds? When will Bethel
be out on the new campus? Where
is Bethel going? Is it going for-wards
or backwards?
These are many questions which
are on the minds of the students.
But where are their answers?

strong "anti-U.S. whispering cam-paign."
The peasants were held
for over 12 hours for saying unkind
things about America. Any activity
that weakens the "national anti-
Communist struggle" and "all plots
under the false name of peace and
neutrality" are outlawed. Prosecu-tion
under the law is left to mili-tary
courts.
The repressive nature, of the re-gime
has polarized Vietnamese po-litics.
Whereas there was once non-violent
and diverse opposition to
the government, now there is the
simple choice, the government or
the NLF. Those who care about
their country either join the Front
or wait until it takes over, believ-ing
there will be more freedom
then. The repression has been a
boon to the NLF.
One of the most notable charac-teristics
of a revolutionary period
is the inefficiency of the central
government. The bureaucratic leg-acy
of the French is amazing to
watch. Row after row of tired
bureaucrats, staring out the win-dows,
reading comic books, or
shuffling papers back and forth,
perhaps initialling each copy; no
one in a hurry to do anything in
the midst of a society faced with
massive dislocation, the glaring in-eptitude,
the lack of concern—all
this makes the revolution so under-standable.

Highlighting Sno-Daze "68" is
the coronation of the Sno Princess
Friday night, February 16, at the
banquet held at the North Star Inn.
Candidates for princess are chosen
by the freshman and sophomore
classes. This year's candidates are
Sue Kennerud, a freshman, Wibby
Smith, a sophomore, and Jackie
Goodman, also a sophomore.
All three candidates think Sno-
Daze is one of the most exciting
events of the year. They like the
idea of a formal affair. Their re-actions
to being chosen as a can-didate
for Sno Princess were
summarized by Sue's comment,
"I just can't believe it."
Sue's major interest lies in the
field of music. With organ as a
major, her chief interest is in
church music. She enjoys being a
member of a gospel team and
hopes to go into some kind of
Christian service after graduation.
Psychology or Christianity is
a probable major for Jackie. Not
concerned with preparing for
any specific vocation, Jackie
feels that college is a place
where she can develop her mind
and grasp a better understand-ing
of people.
As a leader in Campus Life at
Mounds View High School, she
works with students in helping
them to develop their Christian
lives. This she feels will benefit
her as a prospective summer mis-sionary.
Wibby's trip to the Orient this
past year was a real inspiration
to her. Having lived in Hong
Kong for five months and attend-ing
a Japanese college, she wit-nessed
a culture and a way of
life far different from her own.
Living among these people, she
could feel their life and sympa-thize
with them.
She was disheartened by the vile-ness
of various rituals practiced
by some cults. Frustration from
the sight of people plagued in fear
and paganism was intensified by
language barriers which prevented
her from communicating to them
the love of Christ. Impressed with
the need for missionaries and tea-chers
abroad, Wibby, as an elemen-tary
education major, would some
day like to return to the Orient
as a Christian teacher.

"Learning and Discipleship"
will deal with New Testament dis-tinctions

different their Biblical significance
is from their commonly associated

"The Gospel in Secular Environ-ments"
looks at the stance of the

Since the last Clarion in Janu-ary,

three and dropping four. Two of
the losses came on successive
nights by a total of seven points.

Three Straight
by Dave Greener
In recent action, the Bethel Col-lege
wrestling team came back
from two losses to win three meets
in a row. Victories were gained
over St. Paul Bible College, Ham-line,
and Northland while the los-ses
were to the University of Min-nesota
(Morris) and Concordia (St.
Paul). Before the '67-'68 season
closes, Bethel wrestlers will have
an opportunity to face some of
these teams again.
Bethel lost to Morris by a score
of 28-11 on January 13. However,
Coach Doug King feels confident
that his men can triumph this Sat-urday
when they encounter Morris
for the second time. He is not mak-ing
a hollow prediction . .. Dale
Pearson will be present (he had to
forfeit last time) and Curt Dokken
and Barry Anderson are expected
to improve their previous perfor-mance,
while it is hoped that Bob
Olson can come through with a
pin.
Concordia defeated Bethel by a
narrow margin on January 16. The
final score was 19-16. This meet
was particularly disappointing for
the Royals in that they had pre-viously
defeated Concordia. This
time, however, Bethel suffered
from a shortage of manpower and
consequently lost points by for-feit.
The Royals once again became
victorious on January 20 when they
defeated St. Paul Bible College, 31-
8. There is no question that SPBC
can be defeated again on February
23 when Bethel hosts them in the
Field House.
Bethel earned a victory against
Hamline on January 23. The Pipers
were defeated by a score of 23-16.
Bethel's third victory in a row
came at the expense of Northland
on January 27 as the Royals won
26-13. Northland, like St. Paul
Bible College, has a new team
which is relatively inexperienced.
However, they are potentially dan-gerous
to Bethel . . . especially
since Bethel is beset by forfeiture
problems. Nevertheless, Bethel was
anticipated to offer them strong
competition on their return en-gagement
last Saturday.
regulation time, but dropped an
88-85 decision in overtime. Bill
Malyon led Bethel's attack with 19
counters. Ron Pederson had 15 and
Dan Larson 14.
The following night, the cag-ers
dropped a 76-72 decision to
Morris. The visitors' outstanding
forward, Doug Maclver, did most
of the damage as he scored 24
points and did a fine job on the
boards. Pederson led the Royals,
canning 22.
After the Morris setback, Bethel
won its next two contests. They
topped Concordia of St. Paul by an
86-63 count with Pederson again
leading the way, bagging 23 points.
Dan Larson chipped in with 16,
Lowell Richard had 14, and John
Lundgren contributed 10.
Over semester break, the Royals
soared over the century mark as
they humbled Northland 106-95.
Five cagers finished in double fig-ures.
Pederson paced the squad
with 26, and Weko added 19. Rich-ardson,
Larson, and Robertson fol-lowed
with 16, 13, and 11 respec-tively.
The losers got a 30 point
output from Richard Long, and
Gordy Lake added 23.
The Royals split their two
other games during vacation.
Briar Cliff shot better than 50%
from the field to record a 105-82
victory February 1, as three of
their men chalked up 66 points
between them.
The Bethel cagers had better suc-cess
the next night as they shaded
Dordt, 98-93. Dick Robertson came
up with his top effort' of the sea-son
for the Royals, canning 31
points. However, scoring honors
went to Hospers of Dordt with 51

Royals were trounced 110-61 by

The Bethel Women's basketball
team battled four teams last sem-pster
and were victorious in three
of those contests. After dropping
their initial game to Pillsbury 44-
30, they went on to defeat their
next three opponents, St. Cloud,
Fairview, and River Falls.
Against St. Cloud, Bethel was
in command during the entire
game. The first quarter found
Bethel leading 13-6, and at half
time they still held a six-point
edge.
The only threat St. Cloud posed
came in the third quarter as they
momentarily stopped Bethel's of-fense
by effectively using a man

OF 5
The basketball team is regrouping itself after Monday
night's loss to Augsburg, in preparation for the home stretch
drive. The season so far has been dotted with periods of bril-liance,
but at other times, the needed spark has been missing.
We have ,a young team, including six freshmen and several
sophomores, so a promising future should be in store for us.
In fact, I'm looking for a late season spurt from this year's
squad. The ability is there; a new and more determined desire
is needed! * * * *
The wrestling squad is also young, but despite its youth,
has done a remarkably good job. Under the influence of an
excellent wrestler in his own right, coach Doug King, Bethel's
wrestling future looks gre*at. * * *
Unfortunately, Hockey has become almost extinct at our
college because of lack of finances. One game was played
about two months ago, and ended in a 5-5 tie. Hockey is a very
exciting game, and Bethel has several fine Canadian players
at its disposal. It would really be great if the administration
could give the guys a fina*nci*al l*ift .*
The Women's basketball team is enjoying a good amount
of success so far this season. After last Thursday's 34-22 loss
at the hands of Augsburg, their overall record is 4 and 2.
Barb Lindamen and Marilyn Edgar are ,again the leading
scorers on coach Carol M*org*an '*s s q*u ad.
Would you believe that a group of Bethel guys have or-ganized
a cheering squad for the girl's basketball games?
However, with their knobby knees and "combat" boots, they
certainly have a long way to go before they can come near
our regular female cheerleaders. We ,really appreciate the
great job that the girls have been doing. Thanks to Valerie,
Sheryl, and the three Ca*rols*. Y *o u*'re great!
Despite the zero temperatures which now pervade the
Twin City's area, our spring athletes are longing for the be-ginning
of their respective sports. Trackmen are beginning to
run, baseball practice will soon be starting, and as a golfer,
I've already begun to sharpen up my putting stroke. Yes,
athletics has its own definition of "spring fever."
